As you may have noticed, Google now offers lots of ways to customize your search experience. They’ve added new features like password protected areas of the site, more powerful filters, and even tools that help find and remove unwanted results.

But one feature many people don't know about is how to remove trending searches. You can add this tool in Settings > Search -> Advanced. Once here, hit “Enable” next to "Remove trended results."

Now when someone queries a popular keyword or phrase, all related results will be removed instead! This could help fix bad impressions from prior research, as well as give you some much needed space to breathe.

You'll still get the same advanced settings for other tweaks (like changing your browser profile), but this option is totally free to use. And if you want to take it down, just do so by hitting disable and then waiting for it to process before using the site.

Configure your search engine settings

Recent searches can be influenced by both you and outside sources, making it difficult to make your search engine work for you.

Google makes it easy to add new features, but they may not do so responsibly or evenatically. Technology companies are increasingly targeted by lawmakers who want them to promote a certain political agenda or topic.

This is particularly true in the era of fake news and misinformation. Companies that cater to popular searches will begin showing these results more frequently to increase profits.

There are several ways to remove or prevent trending searches from appearing in your Google Search Results. Below, we will go over some basic tips and then talk about advanced solutions.

Use the Google Safe Browsing

Recent browser extensions that add additional features to Chrome or Firefox are usually advertised as ways to protect you from harmful websites, but some go way beyond this by actively changing your search habits and promoting certain products and services.

Many of these stealthy toolbars claim to improve your browsing experience by offering quick fixes for common issues like slow loading pages or error messages when you try to visit a new website.

But what many don’t tell you is that most of these tools will keep tracking you online to gather more data-dense information about how you use the web. This includes recording which sites you browse, adding potential advertisements while you're still trying to surf without them, and even creating fake accounts to connect your real life identity to all of it.

It's important to be aware of this before you install one of these tools so there are no surprises once you do. You should also know whether the people behind it have adequate privacy policies that clearly state what they'll share and with whom.

Monitor your website's reputation

Recent trending searches can be a scary thing if you're not in the marketing field. If you run a site that promotes education, then it may indicate someone looking for educational information about a certain topic has found what they were seeking!

However, if your business is more dependent on sales or service-focused sites, then these trends could be indicative of potential issues.

By monitoring your Google My Business page (Google takes care of this for you) and Site Map, you'll get some insights into how people are interacting with your domain. You can also add photos, descriptions, and reviews to help promote your online presence.

By keeping an eye on your GMB and SM data, you’ll know whether there have been any unexpected drop offs in activity, which could mean something is wrong with your business or product.

Use the Google Penguin and Google Algorithm updates

Recent algorithm changes such as Panda, Penguin, or Hummingbird can cause your site to lose traffic and lower search rankings. What is the difference?

Panda was an update that focused on quality content which means blogs with little-to-no content will be affected. This includes writing about things you are passionate about and linking out to other relevant pages and sites to make it interesting.

If your website has very little content aside from advertisements, this will hurt your revenue heavily! The more content you have, the better these algorithms work for your site.

Google also removed their link popularity system which measured how many links pointed towards another page. This included websites like Facebook and YouTube where users would add your link to promote your page.

Since people use link sharing tools to gain backlinks, this has effects on your SEO strategy. You may want to consider investing in content if possible.

Create a content marketing strategy

Having a way to remove trending searches is like having a second channel for your business’s social media platform. You can use this tool to promote other people or products, or to draw attention to yourself or your product/service!

Social media search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo track what keywords users are searching for and which ones they repeat frequently.

By using these tools to find and replace those keywords with yours, you can boost your online presence and recognition.

It’s also worth noting that some search engine companies will pay website owners to change or add words to their web pages (for example, by publishing an article containing the word “tips”).

This is called paid inclusion. Many large websites make money through paid inclusion, but it’s not uncommon to see small businesses supplement their income in similar ways.

Develop your website's structure

As mentioned earlier, you can remove trending searches by altering the structure of your site or creating new sections to include in your site. If you are too busy trying to promote your business through social media sites, then this is not something that needs to be done!

Keeping an eye on what people are searching for and changing or adding content to fit that will help you grow your presence online. It is very possible to manage, even if you do not have much time due to other commitments.

There are many free tools available to check how popular different websites and domains are. You can also create accounts at these sites and test out their functionality to see if it is worth investing in.

Create engaging content

Changing your online presence is never easy, but creating interesting, well-written content to share on social media sites and developing an audience that likes what you have to say are integral parts of removing trending searches.

If your goal is just to gain back some lost time, then starting off with modest goals will help. Try setting a schedule for one hour per day to do something related to social media marketing. You can start small by trying to add 1 new person to your list of followers or doing simple re-branding projects (changing your profile picture, etc.).

Once you get the basics down, you can increase your efficiency and effectiveness. Being familiar with the tools used to promote your business helps you focus more effectively and removes distractions when things go wrong.

Distribute content using social media

One of the biggest culprits of trending searches is having too many advertisements in your browsing experience. All too often, digital marketers will start to test various strategies by which they can spread out their content more evenly.

A common tactic is to distribute content via social media sites or other platforms. Users are constantly accessing these websites, so why not use this time to promote your business?

By creating an online presence through different accounts on all of these sites, you can achieve your goal of spreading out your content. This way, users do not have to go onto another site to find what you have, they can easily access it from yours!

Another way to do this is to produce separate posts that contain similar information but for different industries or markets. By distributing your content across multiple sources, people can get exposed to several pieces of your company’s culture.
